Part 1: Donald Trump overthrew the government of Venezuela YouTube video by Ericka Kopp

While we were sleeping, Trump illegally committed a coup in Venezuela. Congress must impeach, convict, and remove him from office.

Expecting democracy from a wannabe dictator is like asking for directions from a person who cannot see.

Hell no, Trump must go.

This vile man, who has sexually assaulted over 20 women and an unknown (so far) number of girls, *never* had control over himself.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning from Congress Greene was one of Trump's earliest allies and among his most loyal supporters in Congress

Jack Smith just told Sen. Chuck Grassley AGAIN that he’s ready to testify publicly about his investigations into Trump. His lawyers say he’s simply waiting on DOJ authorization and wants Americans to hear the facts directly. Why are Republicans stalling? Let him speak.

From CBS News: Schumer offers to end shutdown in exchange for 1-year extension of health care tax credits Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks on the Senate floor on Friday, Nov. 7, 2025. SENATE TV Schumer said Democrats will reopen the government if Republicans agree to attaching a one-year extension of health insurance tax credits, the issue that has been at the center of their demands since the shutdown began. "After so many failed votes, it's clear we need to try something different. What the Senate is doing isn't working for either party, and isn't working for the American people," he said. "Let's find a path to honor both positions." Article continues: Schumer said Democrats want to see an end to the shutdown and want to respect Thune's stance that Republicans won't negotiate on the tax credits until the government is open. He proposed passing a one-year extension as part of a bill to fund the government, before opening broader health care negotiations. "We would like to offer a simple proposal that would reopen the government and extend the ACA premium tax credits simultaneously. And then have the opportunity to start negotiating longer-term solutions to health care costs. Let's do all three," Schumer said, calling it a "very simple compromise." "Democrats are ready to clear the way to quickly pass a government funding bill that includes health care affordability. Leader Thune just needs to add a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits to the CR so we can immediately address rising health care costs," he said. "With this approach, we do not negotiate health care in the shutdown as Leader Thune maintains he wishes," he said. Schumer argued that "all Republicans have to do is say yes to extend current law for one year," saying "it makes sense." "Now, the ball is in the Republicans' court," he said. Senate Democrats joined Schumer on the Senate floor in a show of unity.

Thune rejects Democratic offer as a "nonstarter" that "doesn't even get close" Thune told CBS News that the Democratic proposal is a "nonstarter" as GOP lawmakers entered a conference meeting near the Senate chamber. "I think everybody who follows this knows that's a nonstarter. There is no way. The Obamacare extension is the negotiation. That's what we're going to negotiate once the government opens up," he said. "But, you know, a one-year extension along the lines of what they're suggesting, I think everybody knows they're — and without Hyde protections — it doesn't even get close." Thune was referring to the Hyde amendment, which restricts federal funding for abortions. Thune added: "We need to vote to open the government. And there is a proposal out there to do that, and then we can have this whole conversation about health care." Article continues: "I think it's an indication that they're feeling the heat, and they know that their last proposal was unserious and unrealistic," he said. "So I guess you could characterize that as progress, but I just don't think that it gets anywhere close to what we need to do here. And they know it. And I think anybody who's been following this debate knows it too."

From CBS News: Graham blasts Democratic proposal as "terrible" and "political terrorism" GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina offered his opinion of the Democratic proposal to reporters at the Capitol. "Terrible. Horrible. I'm not going to keep giving taxpayer dollars to the five largest health care insurance companies under Obamacare to get the government open," Graham said. "This idea of flooding insurance companies for another year to open up the government is ridiculous," he added. "It's political terrorism, and it needs to stop."

On healthcare, here are facts about the shutdown:

Chuck Schumer (D-NY) brought forth a compromise on the Senate floor: extend ACA tax credits for one year to reopen the government.

John Thune (R-SD) said this was a “nonstarter,” and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called the proposal “political terrorism.”

The purpose of extending ACA tax credits is so that the cost of people’s health insurance doesn’t go through the roof.

The offer would’ve ended the shutdown. The GOP said no.

With people already living paycheck to paycheck, the higher cost of insurance will put healthcare out of reach for some.

This is good trouble.

Wait for it, you’ll see what I mean.

I know that was intentional.

That Rob Wittman is in front of him was a happy accident.

See the difference? 👀

He figures if he says it enough times, someone will believe him; in fact, the more he speaks, the more of a sack of human garbage he is.

Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva’s swearing in for so long that the AG of AZ is threatening to s-u-e.

AZ-7 is experiencing taxation without representation on top of the government shutdown. Swear her in!
#uspolitics #congress #taxationwithoutrepresentation

Article from Politico. Headline: Arizona attorney general threatens legal action against Mike Johnson for failing to seat Adelita Grijalva Caption: The Democrat accused Johnson of playing “political games” by delaying the swearing-in ceremony

She has a right to be sworn in now that she’s won her seat and the official results are in.
#swearherin

Just voted YES on PROP 50!! Make sure to vote early! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

TikTok is restricting speech about No Kings, alleging that it may violate their community guidelines.

So tyranny and fascism are in line with TikTok’s guidelines while protesting in accordance with the First Amendment isn’t?

Unbelievable.

Ignore all the noise. What if this was your sister, your daughter, your mother, your neighbor? You know it was someone because we are all connected by 2 degrees. Power protects power until people demand truth. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

"A spray-painted bronze statue titled “Best Friends Forever” that depicts President Trump and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein holding hands was placed on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol early Tuesday morning. The work is the latest in a series of politically charged sculptures critical of the president that have been placed in Washington and elsewhere by an anonymous group. A plaque at the base of the installation reads, “We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein.”

Release the damn files.

Not satire.
